Cousins!
Please join us in sending our deepest condolences to beloved producer Metro Boomin and his family following devastating news of his mother’s death over the weekend!
According to reports from TMZ, Metro’s mom Leslie Joanne Wayne’s body was tragically discovered outside of Atlanta by police officials. It has been stated that she was murdered on Friday night at the hands of her husband, who then died by suicide.
Despite circulating reports, it has been confirmed that Leslie’s husband is not Metro’s father.
An official autopsy is underway to determine Leslie’s cause of death, as details are fairly minimal. A representative for Metro has confirmed the news while also advising that him and his family are requesting both respect and privacy during this difficult time.
Metro is said to have been very close to his mother as she was the person who noticed his musical talents early on and advised him to pursue a career. He has successfully produced hit singles for artists such as Future, Migos, Gucci Mane, Travis Scott, Kanye West, 21 Savage, Drake and many more.
Metro often referred to her as a blessing and his biggest inspiration.
Happy Birthday Mom! My biggest inspiration!!
Enjoy your new phase!#LESLIETIME pic.twitter.com/mr12Jks9WG— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) December 30, 2019
